The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 286
Concubine Fu wholeheartedly imitated Lu Egang and became the hostess of the world. She had read history books since she was a child, and she was even more familiar with anecdotes about celebrities in classic history books.Concubine Fu's father also intends to raise his eldest daughter as a son. Not only did he never shy away from Concubine Fu when discussing important matters, but he also actively helped her enter the East Palace after knowing her daughter's thoughts.

If it weren't for the current queen's use of tricks, Princess Fu would have become the hostess of the Queen's Palace long ago.

However, over the years, Concubine Fu has gradually understood the truth that Xiaozong is not easy to mess with. Although he loves the concubines in the harem, he never allows anyone to interfere in the court affairs. The Duke of Guoan bought people's hearts for the fourth prince.

Concubine Fu envied Empress Lu as a woman, but she had the ability to be in charge of the court. If she really married Xiaozong back then, this idea would definitely be stifled.It would be better to fasten King Fu, as long as King Fu changes his dynasty, Princess Fu will not be afraid that her husband will disagree with her and listen to politics behind the curtain.

She changed her smiling face to cater to King Fu: "My concubine is running around here and there with such a stinky face, isn't she just thinking about the prince? Think about it, the prince, since the queen mother left Yuntai, and the emperor no longer summoned our family of three, the palace has been closed." It has become empty, not even a warm person."

Hearing this, King Fu complained to Concubine Fu: "I said earlier that once you die in your life, you know friendship; if you are poor and rich, you know friendship; if you are rich and you are cheap, you know friendship. In the past, you used money to buy people's hearts. The king felt that something was wrong. Now that we have lost a little power, those villains will not come to the door again. This king is good to see this! Besides, it’s not that Jiumei can’t get married. Does it mean that she must be someone’s concubine? Not as good as this king It is better to be a matchmaker in person, and to randomly pick a clean, smart and motivated official from the three provinces and six ministries, than to be a concubine for the King of Beijing."

Princess Fu looked at her husband's face and sneered: "When did the prince become so keen on being a matchmaker? I don't know."

King Fu said: "What's so difficult about this? Although this king can't find a son from a family like Song Chen for Jiumei, it's okay to be from a family like Rongguo Mansion and Liu Guogong Mansion. I heard that this young master from the second room of Rongguo Mansion There is no marriage yet, but Jiumei and Jiumei are forming a couple."

Concubine Fu was furious: "My lord, please don't mention Rongguo Mansion. I am a matchmaker with good intentions, and I want to get a daughter from a relative's family in Rongguo Mansion for my natal brother. We didn't dislike that family's weak family, but they looked down on us first."

It turned out that Mrs. Xing devoted herself to protecting Coco Li as a matchmaker, and wanted to persuade Aunt Li in every possible way.But Aunt Li asked someone to inquire about it in private, only to find out that Princess Fu's natal brother is not a good person, not to mention his ex-wife who abused him to death, but he is still a guy who eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles.Although Aunt Li was afraid of the power of Fu Wang's family, she couldn't bear to push her daughter into the fire pit, so she discussed with Li Wan what to do.

After much deliberation, Li Wan finally came up with an idea. After half a month of starvation, Coco Li didn't care if she was full with one meal a day.This little girl of Coco Li sixteen or seventeen is just growing up, how can she bear it.Aunt Li cried and tried to persuade her, she finally lost more than ten catties of flesh, she became a dry person, and her complexion was extremely pale.

Princess Fu understood what was going on at a glance, her natal brother naturally refused to marry such a wife, and the marriage between the two families was abandoned.Li Wan took other money from his private house and made a good face for Princess Fu, which is regarded as an apology.

Concubine Fu is a person who will take revenge. Although she has accepted the Li family's things, she always remembers this humiliation in her heart.

"My lord, you should also take care of yourself. This foundation will belong to you in the future. I am here to work hard, so don't you hope that my lord can make further progress?" Princess Fu persuaded: "My father, who is a concubine, is also looking forward to being able to do so. I will see the day when you will be crowned the Great Treasure."

King Fu hurriedly covered his wife's mouth: "This is nonsense? Be careful to lose your head!" Seeing Princess Fu staring at him, King Fu let go of his hand and said: "What thoughts did this king have in the past few years, but look at my father The fate of those old courtiers of the king is still easy to be a idle king in peace."

Concubine Fu spat: "It's easy to say, are we willing, is the emperor willing? Now that he is in the way of the Supreme Emperor's favor, he will not move us. The prince looks at it. Once the Supreme Emperor who is covering us is gone, the Emperor must do something to us." It will be a good thing to be demoted to common people by then, and it will almost kill us!"

King Fu stammered: "Then, then we can't turn against the emperor clearly, right? We don't have military power in our hands, and we don't have the favor of the emperor's relatives, how can we make things happen?"

Princess Fu saw that the fish had taken the bait, she smiled and said: "Your Highness is smart, you can guess it without my concubine's words. You are still teasing my concubine with vague words! If you want to seize military power, naturally you have to fight with Bei Jing." Wang joins hands! Our Jiu Niang is so graceful and charming, no matter who looks at it, his heart will be moved."

This Jiuniang is the concubine's cousin of Princess Fu. Her biological mother was a famous Qinglou woman in the south of the Yangtze River. The daughter followed her mother's appearance, and she was extraordinarily enchanting. She stared at people with her eyes and could seduce men's souls away. .

King Fu only met him once and never forgot. He wanted to ask Concubine Fu several times, but he was seriously afraid of guilt and never dared to speak.

He intends to find an idle and powerless son of an aristocratic family and marry Jiuniang to him, and in the future, he promises the son of the aristocratic family Jinbo Guanjue, so that he can secretly communicate with Jiuniang.

Unexpectedly, Princess Fu made up her mind to marry Jiu Niang to the Beijing Palace, so King Fu was naturally unhappy.

Concubine Fu didn't know her husband's cleverness, she just endured it all the time for the big plan, and she became more determined to marry Jiuniang earlier in order to win over the powerful.

"If it wasn't for Song Shangshu's youngest son who suddenly made a marriage agreement, I would still want Jiuniang to marry into Shangshu's mansion!" Concubine Fu was not pleased: "Speaking of it, being the side concubine of the King of Beijing is indeed wronged Jiuniang. Mother, it's better to marry into Shangshu's mansion to be decent."

Concubine Fu, thinking about the third young lady of the Song family who had changed her overall plan due to troubles today, squeezed out a burst of anger: "That third young lady of the Song family, I can't hate you! From now on, don't let this princess see her, or you must make her look good! "

"It's the daughter of the Xing family?" Fu Wang suddenly remembered the wedding that was very hotly discussed a while ago. Although he never attended, he also heard that the eldest prince, no, Duke Yong made a big fuss at the wedding and lost his favor.

Concubine Fu nodded: "Isn't it their family? It's really interesting to say, who would have thought that the Xing family is so blessed that they have raised a prince."

Fu Wang twirled his short beard and was silent for a long while. Seeing that no one answered her nagging, Fu Wangfei felt displeased, so she pushed her husband: "What is your lord thinking, so engrossed?"

King Fu came back to his senses in a daze, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Nothing, nothing." He dismissed Princess Fu casually, but early the next morning, King Fu quietly ordered his confidant eunuch to go to the palace to inquire about everything about the fifth prince Li Hong.From traveling to dressing, Fu Wang even asked people to find out every word of the conversation between the emperor and the fifth prince.

In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year, and it was rare for the Song family to have such a well-organized person.Song Lian was very happy, and asked the eldest daughter-in-law to do it busily.Jiang Shi seemed to have received an oracle, so he naturally tossed and tossed about in every possible way, and spending money was like a waste of time.

Mrs. Song didn't want to see Dafang stand alone, so she ordered Xiao Gao and Xiuyan to participate together.

Xiao Gao wanted to have a fight with Jiang, but Xiuyan didn't want to get involved, so she only did what she was supposed to do, and she didn't want to intervene any more.

After a long time, instead of being compared by the two sister-in-laws, he won the approval of the maids and servants in the Shangshu Mansion.Everyone thinks that the newly-arrived Third Young Mistress has rules and regulations, with clear rewards and punishments, and a clear division of labor.It's not like the young lady who blindly assigns work to everyone, regardless of whether people are busy or not.It's not like the Second Young Mistress, who didn't even understand the errand, but told the people below to keep improving.

Everyone complained that the eldest grandma and the second grandma were unreliable, and at the same time they were scrambling to get the job of the third young mistress.

Even for this reason, many people started to go through the back door of Meilian and Mio.

The respectable ladies in charge of the Song family secretly looked at the maids around the third young lady, and found that Meilian and Miying were not only outstanding in appearance, but also experienced in handling things, smarter than the lady who had been in charge for many years.They can't hide a single thing about the purchase of fried rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea from them. How much grain and how much money should be paid by the village can be found out even if it is short.

At first, the ladies in charge thought that the third young mistress was going to leave two maids to be housemaids, but after a month or two, the third young master and the third young mistress seemed to be good friends, and it was obviously impossible to take concubines.

There are also second-class maids Bai Fu and Cui Mei who are also good at it, and they will probably take over.

The ladies in charge turned their ideas on the two girls, Meilian and Mio.

They think well, Sanfang will definitely go out in the future, and see what the master means, that is, it will happen in the next year.Sanfang is in charge of her own house, isn't the person next to the third young lady the lady in charge?Whoever marries such a daughter-in-law will have to work hard for several years.

These women in charge came to Xiuyan's yard one after another to find something to talk to.

One or two are fine, wait for the first-class lady in charge to come over and over again, how can Xiuyan not understand the reason?
On this day, she just saw off the merchant lady who tied up the lanterns, when Mrs. Song's personal nurse, Mrs. Shang's mother, suddenly came to say hello.

"Why does Shang's mother have time to come to my place today?" Xiuyan personally let the person to the opposite side of the fire, so Shang's mother didn't dare to sit, she just sat on the little twig by the door.

Xiuyan smiled and ordered someone to put the charcoal fire basin at Mother Shang's feet, and then ordered someone to pour hot apricot cheese: "Mother Shang may just send the little maid here, it's freezing and snowy outside, be careful on slippery roads."

Meilian came in with a foot stove from outside, "Mama Shang warms her feet."

Seeing Meilian smiling from ear to ear, Shang's mother only held Meilian's hand: "Girl, rest quickly, it's hard for you to do such trivial things."

Seeing that Shang's mother was so attentive, Xiuyan understood.

Meilian only smiled and said: "Mama Shang is the most respectable person in front of Madam, we usually have a chance to serve you, and it is very easy for Mama Shang to come to our yard to sit and sit, so I naturally want to compete with them for the job of serving you." !"

Mother Shang was overjoyed, chattering and Xiuyan sighed: "No wonder people in our house give thumbs up when they talk about the third young mistress. Seeing that grandma is such a good trainer, it's true when we see it." envious!"
